      Title: Sweet Cashew Rolls
 Categories: Desserts, Pastry, Nuts
      Yield: 12 Rolls
 
      6 sl Filo pastry -OR-
      2 sl Puff pastry; thawed
  1 1/2 c  Raw cashews
    1/2 c  Brown sugar
    1/2 c  Caster sugar
    1/4 c  Water
      1 ts Lemon juice
    1/2 ts Cinnamon
      1 pn Nutmeg
           Olive oil
 
  Preheat oven to 180 C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
  
  Put cashews, brown sugar and spices into a food processor. Mix
  well until the nuts are finely chopped, but not completely
  ground. Transfer the cashew mixture to a medium bowl. Mix caster
  sugar lemon juice and water in a small saucepan. Bring to the
  boil then reduce heat. Simmer 10-12 minutes, until the mixture
  starts to thicken and become syrupy (the lemon juice prevents the
  sugar crystallizing). Pour over the cashew mixture and mix well.
  
  If Using Filo Pastry:

  Spread one sheet lightly with olive oil and place a second sheet of
  pastry on top. Brush the second sheet with oil, repeat with a third
  sheet of pastry, then fold in half to form a square. Repeat with
  the remaining pastry. Spread cashew mixture thinly and evenly over
  the pastry, except for 2 cm at one end of the pastry. Roll up
  tightly. Brush the 2 cm border with olive oil to stick the pastry
  together. Cut each roll into 4-6 lengths.
  
  If using puff pastry:

  Spread cashew mixture thinly and evenly over the pastry, except for
  2 cm at one end of the pastry. Roll up tightly. Brush the 2 cm
  border with olive oil to stick the pastry together. Cut each roll
  into 6 lengths.
  
  Bake 12-15 minutes, until pastry is golden brown. Allow to cool
  for at least 15 minutes, because the syrup will be very hot and
  could burn your tongue!
  
  Delicious hot or cold, as a dessert with Spiced Honey Cream with
  Walnuts, or as a snack with a cup of tea
  
  Almost any nuts can be used in this recipe - walnuts, almonds,
  macadamias, pecans - the choice is yours.
